What could they have done, throw the unarmed nukes at Russia? You also leave out the fact that Russia and the UK signed as well.

When you have nuclear weapons in your possession, obviously you will not be able to discover how to detonate them in an hour or a day.

Nevertheless when you have the resources of a state, it is very easy to disassemble them and discover, in a few weeks or months at most, how to replace the part that initiates detonation with one that you control.
